Managing Iodinated Contrast Shortages:
Real World’ Solutions
Supported through an educational grant from Bracco Diagnostics Inc..
Credits: 1.5 Category A, ARRT credit | 1.5 AHRA CRA credit
CE Credits: Effective Date: July 18, 2022 | Expiration Date: July 31, 2024
This CE accredited program will provide an educational resource that addresses current and future iodinated contrast media shortages and its clinical impact.
By bringing together a group of radiologists with expertise in CT, MRI, NM/PET, US & AI, who have experienced this crisis in their imaging departments and who have established ‘best practices and procedures’ designed to address clinical and operational alternatives in order to deliver safe and effective patient care throughout Radiology; this comprehensive program will cover the following topics:
-
The operational impact of contrast media waste.
-
The use of saline supporting contrast optimization with improved image quality.
-
Patient safety considerations & imaging challenges when moving to alternative imaging methods.
-
When and how to implement emergency protocols, based on iodinated contrast availability.
-
The use of AI to provide improved outcomes without the use of contrast.
Clinical scenarios that include IV and oral contrast administration, patient management, non-contrast imaging options, and the use of Barium and other contrast media will be discussed.

MR Contrast Selection & Utilization in Pediatric & Neonatal Patients
Supported through an unrestricted educational grant from Bracco Diagnostics Inc..
Credits: 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credit™ | 1.0 Category A, ARRT credit | 1.0 AHRA CRA credit
CME/CE Credits: Effective Date: November 22, 2021 | Expiration Date: November 30, 2023
In MR Imaging, a careful review of the safety criteria for the selection of a Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents (GBCAs) should be considered for pediatric and neonatal patients. The program will provide a comprehensive review of the supporting research that addresses Gadolinium selection in this special patient population. Both chronic and long-term effects of GBCAs will be discussed.
As a Pediatric Neuroradiologist, Dr. Shah is uniquely qualified to share his experience which includes a discussion of risk vs benefits, supported by practical protocols for the administration of MR contrast; including limiting the amount of contrast given to patients that may receive several lifetime doses.
Following the presentation questions from the audience were addressed in a moderated Q&A session.

Cardiovascular Imaging:
Complex Applications in Cardiac CT and CT Angiography
Supported through an unrestricted educational grant from Bracco Diagnostics Inc..
Credits: 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credit™ | 1.0 Category A, ARRT credit | 1.0 AHRA CRA credit

Often there is lack of knowledge amongst imaging professionals regarding IV contrast dynamics and the relationship between contrast injection, observed enhancement, and scan acquisition timing. The design of appropriate imaging protocols leads to effective and consistent cardiovascular exams; especially when applied to complex clinical scenarios.
This CME/CE accredited program will review contrast-saline dynamics and discuss rational protocol design for cardiac and vascular CT angiography. Effective cardiovascular imaging protocols, utilizing multiple CT injector platforms to achieve optimal imaging, will be reviewed. We invite you to join Dr. Richard Hallett for a comprehensive discussion and case study review of this important topic.

Evidence-based Approach to Minimizing IV Contrast Extravasations
Supported through an unrestricted educational grant from Bracco Diagnostics Inc..
Credits: 1.0 Category A, ARRT credit | 1.0 AHRA CRA credit
CE Credits: Effective Date: July 9, 2021 | Expiration Date: June 30, 2023
IV contrast extravasation is a not uncommon complication in the performance IV contrast enhanced CT examinations. In this accredited Expert Forum Webcast, we will review the different complications related to IV contrast administration. This will be followed by analysis of different factors that contribute to IV contrast-extravasation and subsequent discussion of best practices that can reduce the incidence of IV contrast extravasation. A novel method which reduced contrast extravasation by over 50% will also be presented.
